Kia ora Chris, 

 

Thank you for your email on 25 October 2024 requesting the following
information. We already responded to you on  31 October 2024 about the
same request. Please see the attached email. In response to your request
below, we will not be responding, as we have already provided our
response. 

 

Please provide a machine readable dataset in csv/Excel format that shows
the total number of people by age and gender that are unvaccinated with
any COVID shot from 1 Jan 2020 through to the present day as at the end of
each calendar month.

The columns of the dataset would be expected to include:
1) Date: Date at the end of the month with the earliest date being 31 Jan
2020. That is the first year of data will give a baseline of variation by
month that subsequent years that included the vaccination programme can be
compared to.
2) Age: Age from birth as at the end of the month. 0 is the age up to 364
days, 1 is from 1 year to 1 year and 364 days etc.  The highest age
category should be 100+
3) Gender: Male/Female/Unknown or Other
4) Number of People: Count of the population of people under the
care/enrolled in the NZ public health system who are unvaccinated with any
dose of any of the COVID vaccines. The number in this column will changes
based on the variation in the enrolled population, the aging of the
unvaccinated each month, deaths, and by the number of people transferring
into the "COVID vaccinated" group.

Once a query has been written for one month, it should be able to be rerun
for each subsequent month on a programmed loop - minimising the effort
involved.

Where a cell is <5 people please populate this with "<5" for
confidentiality.  True zero cells should be shown - or at least not
included in the dataset and not marked as <5.

This dataset is being requested from the original date as some parameters
within the database may have been updated (eg Gender, death registration)
that change the numbers in earlier years.

Please do consult as early as possible if there are any issues or
questions.

This is similar in intensity and effort to previous OIAs for data that
Health NZ has successfully responded to.

 

If you have any questions, please get in touch
at [1][email address].
 

If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a
complaint to the Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602.
